As we look at this chapter, we see that there were certain sins, which were committed by Jacob's sons Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, which affected God's blessing to themselves, and to their descendants for many generations. These sins would have affected them forever, and brought them down to hell, except that they came to believe in the prophetic promises and blessings that were given to Judah. But the sovereign mercy of God which was promised to Judah, and through him, to all of his brothers; the prophecy of the sending the Lord Jesus Christ to be their Savior, would, when they believed in the promise, take away the guilt of their sins and bring about a desire in them for a new obedience in the way that they lived their lives. So let us ask ourselves what were the sins which destroyed the greatest blessings of some of these brothers? And how did they come to find forgiveness even though they were so vile in their sin? When we discover the answer, it should show us that no matter how great our sins have been in the past, that we also may find forgiveness. Let's look at the sins which these brothers committed in the light of the promises of God which are given to the tribe of Judah, so that we might learn from them and repent, so that we might receive the blessings of eternal life.
